iChat and OS X Firewall

[dafuser]

What ports do I need to allow thru the OS X firewall to allow iChat to work?

I have a rule to allow ports 5190 and 5198 from the internet thru the firewall. I also tried ports 5050 and 9898 without success.

What are the actual ports used by iChat?

Thanks

should be the same ones as AOL instant messenger.

Try 'netstat -a' in a shell while running aim to see which ports are being used.

The host it uses starts with oscar* IIRC.
